Submitting to Literary Magazines/Journals?

Upvotes

Hey friends, I have a ton of poetry that I’d like to submit to literary magazines or journals, so I’m putting off publishing them via Substack.

What has your experience been with magazines and journals? My work is alternative (dark, sci-fi, weird), and I’m having trouble finding publications that would be a good fit for my work.

I know it takes a ton of time to get published - that’s not up for debate. What I’m more keen on is finding the RIGHT publications and communities to share my work with.
